hard topics

I am trying to get my girls out more to make some friends, spend time talking with others, and socializing them. I had no idea that this day would be the day I would have to talk to my girls about how some people were born a gender and feel they are a different gender.  It definitely caught me off guard at a play group with young children.

But we had to have that conversation and it went something like this...

{there was a child who had short hair like a boy but was in a dress but said they were a boy, and I have no idea what gender they were born into.. But at that time, the child wanted to be a boy}

Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes, but sometimes someone is born a girl and in there mind they feel like they should be a boy, and sometimes a child is born a boy and they feel they should be a girl. And you know what, that is ok.  We are all sent here to make out own choices and we are not someone to tell someone else that they are wrong for how they feel.  We are to be kind and respectful to all.

They said "ok mom, I can do that"

It went better than I thought it would.
